METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR IDENTIFYING GLOBAL MICROSATELLITE INSTABILITY AND FOR CHARACTERIZING INFORMATIVE MICROSATELLITE LOCI

摘要

The disclosure provides methods and systems for assessing microsatellites, for identifying informative microsatellite loci, and for using microsatellite data. Microsatellite information has numerous uses including, for example, to characterize disease risk, to predict responsiveness to therapy, and to non-invasively diagnose subjects.
